amen to those MUST have pregnant cravings. QUESTION: I do photography as a hobby and I'm struck by your clean, white lighting. Any tips? I mess with my ISO and pay lots of attention to the sunlight but mine tend towards the yellow. I shoot with the Nikon D40
littlestreetfightersmom- tips? i am no pro, so i kinda guess everything, but I set it on P and I make sure the focus is on the plate, not the white around it. Then, i aim and click. i also make sure i have a lot of natural light behind me. I hope this helps!
I have a large growing pile of fabric scraps. I refuse to throw them away because I am sure they can be used for something. I have been seeing different types of interesting necklaces made of buttons, beads, and fabric. Then, I figured why not make one out of my scraps...
I think it made my white shirt a little less boring. This was so quick and easy to make.
Â
How to make a recycled scraps necklace (which is very similar to the straps on my braided tablecloth bag):
1. Take your scrap fabric, I cut a .5''-1'' snip and tear the rest of the fabric down for a nice frayed edge. Used 3 different fabrics for each strand.
2. Take 3 of the torn pieces and tie the ends together with a rubber band.Â
3. Braid the 3 pieces together and tie ends together with rubber band when done.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for more strands. Remember you can make the strands any length you want, if run out of fabric, just weave more into the braid.
5. Once all the strands you want are braided, gather one end of each strand together and straight stitch together with sewing machine. Repeat for the other ends of the strands. Snip off any excess.
6. Gather ends of the necklace and sew together (snip excess) or a ribbon can be sewn at the ends to be able to tie the necklace closed, but I just sewed both ends together.Â
7. Voila! A nice way to make use of all your lovely scraps.
Sorry if the directions get you a little lost, but it really is easy. I promise. Maybe I should put some in the shop. Please share any other good ideas you may have of things that can be made with scraps. I would love to hear (read) them!
oh my those look divine!!!
I made cornbread yesterday too – YUM!
I can't wait to see what hits you next…this corn muffin is perhaps the most beautiful corn muffin I have ever seen!
I could eat cornbread morning noon and night too. And I am not even pregnant! 😉 Happy eating!
I am glad y'all share my love for cornbread, especially during this time.

Oh my YUM! That looks so very tasty! And your arsty pics of those yummy muffins make them all the better. 🙂
